Hi, All. There were some questions and discussion about Apache ORC release cadence at our GitHub PR. I want to share it with you and get your opinion on it.
https://github.com/apache/orc/pull/936#issuecomment-944017204 According to our release page, Apache ORC release cadence requires one or two years for the next minor version. https://orc.apache.org/docs/releases.html - 1.4.0: 2017-05-08 - 1.5.0: 2018-05-14 (About 1 year and 6 days) - 1.6.0: 2019-09-03 (About 1 year and 4 month) - 1.7.0: 2021-09-15 (About 2 years and 12 days) - 1.8.0: 2023-09-15 (About 2 years?) Apache ORC release cadence is also related to the EOL of the old releases. For example, - 1.5.x was maintained for 40 months and was archived on 2021-09-15. - 1.6.x EOL is expected on 2022-09-03 if we maintain it for 3 years. - 1.7.x EOL is expected on 2024-09-15 if we maintain it for 3 years. What is your expectation on Apache ORC release cadence? Dongjoon
